Reasons to change your air filter
It is important to change the cabin air filter of your 2017 Honda Pilot for a few reasons:
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter improves the air quality outside the car by filtering out airborne contaminants.
- Extending the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps increase the efficiency of the system.
- Cleaner air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for the passengers.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which may lead to overheating and damages the engine over time.
- Improved engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a sufficient amount of air to reach the engine, which can improve overall performance and fuel efficiency.
If you replace your air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Honda Pilot engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is filtered of pollutants
